IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2017-02-07
Abstract: An image is displayed in a predetermined area, or window, of a display of a touchscreen, a touch operation on the display is detected, and pressure information of the touch operation is acquired. A process is then executed according to the acquired pressure information when the position of the touch operation is detected within the predetermined window. A comparison unit may be configured to compare the magnitude of the acquired pressure against a predetermined, or threshold, value. Based on the comparison result, either an enlargement and reduction process is executed on the window (i.e. a window resizing process), or an enlargement and reduction process is executed on the image displayed in the window (i.e. a zoom process). In other embodiments a determination area is defined corresponding to a touch position, the size of which is changed according to the touch pressure. When an edge or corner of a window is included in the determination area, it may be determined that a touch operation of selecting the edge of the window has been performed, and a window resizing process may be executed based on movement of the touch.
